    Finally rode a sit down this past weekend in Havasu

    That's my bet. Could also be the specific boat. Try a Yamaha or Kawi, IMO. Didn't stop our governor from driving his big ol' boat INTO the dock. He got away scott free (or SCOTCH free in his case). Maybe you can too. :jester:

    Finally rode a sit down this past weekend in Havasu

    No. It is just as easy. Turn as sharp as you can to try to throw the passenger off. :evil: My bet is he hit a wave wrong.

    Finally rode a sit down this past weekend in Havasu

    :lmao: Real men ride couches. :jester: U remember the year of the ski? I like the early 90's hull. Not very stable for sitting but very nimble.

    Texoma 2010 Dates poll

    *sigh* I'm pretty sure I did in this thread a few weeks back... The response was something to the effect of Not any particular date. So I figured a poll would be best. I'm open to other options.

    Texoma 2010 Dates poll

    Looks like Preaston Bend Park is going to be the location. Word is it's right next to a marina with big boat traffic. The farmer's almanac is predicting average temps with below average precipitation. This poll is also gauging interest. Pick which weeks are best. Multiple choices accepted...

    Flatwater sucks

    Us mid-western people have too far to drive to get surf, so we're stuck on flatwater. It's not all that bad. I practice my various tricks in between boat chasing. So far I've gotten real good at the turn-sub and the fountain. Need a better engine to get air for tricks like subs and what-not...

    flooding superjet

    I have a 91 SJ with a 650 and no personal experience with the 701 SJ. Wikipedia claims the 94 superjet comes with a SBN44. U can pick up an OEM type needle and seat at http://www.bikebandit.com/houseofmotorcycles/1994-yamaha-motorcycle-super-jet-sj700s-carburetor/o/m7643sch137891. $23.

    flooding superjet

    Probably just the needle and seat. Pull the hood and look at the carb. Only way to be sure if you have 1 or 2. Measure the opening in mm to get the model, and look for a branding on the side for the make. Post pics of the carb if you are still unsure. Get a complete rebuild kit that has the...

    flooding superjet

    Replace the needle and seat. Gas doesn't flow at all on these things without the engine running. They don't have petcocks.

    Starter/bendix rattling? What did i do wrong?

    I wouldn't ride it till I got the noise fixed. Could be something else about to rattle off and get ingested. What happens when you run the ski without the cover? Can you see the bendix disengaging?
